Ex-Roma star Ruggiero Rizzitelli slams Enrique tactics

Former AS Roma star Ruggiero Rizzitelli has slammed the tactics of coach Luis Enrique.

Enrique is under fire after two consecutive defeats and fans called for his resignation.

"It hurts my heart to see Daniele De Rossi stuck among the defenders. It's not possession football, it's keep-ball, but in training you get a point for every 10 touches," Rizzitelli told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Football is very different to a training exercise. It's only natural the fans are starting to lose patience, especially in a demanding city like Rome.

"Either you give this ambitious project with many young players to an experienced Coach, or you do it outside of Rome. A side that has to win needs a solid skeleton and here the players are all out of position, disoriented and without certainty.

"If Enrique doesn't want centre-forwards, then why do they have Marco Borriello? In defence the Spaniard wants people who can play the ball, but instead signed Simon Kjaer, who is a great marker with terrible feet."
